The assistant district attorney was eliminated after it was revealed that she had given her team's sales figures to Octane prior to the official announcement in the boardroom.

The episode began with Stephanie and Liza returning to the group after the previous episode's firing. To illustrate Liza's failings, Mahsa offered to tell the men the breakdown of their sales figures. The rest of the team were horrified at the prospect of giving away an advantage and Brandy told Mahsa to "Shut the f**k up." The situation developed into an argument which amused the men.

The teams were tasked with staging backer's auditions to find investors for two new Broadway musicals. Success would depend on the quality of the team's marketing materials as well as overall presentation. Kristen Chenoweth, Daryl Roth and Broadway investor John Yonover were named as the judges for the task. Liza took the project manager role for the women's team while Steuart stepped up for the men.

Team Octane

The men were given the musical Little Miss Fix It to work with, which tells the story of an 11-year-old girl falling in love for the first time.

Steuart was unsure about trusting David with a major part of the task and initially made him order lunch - but after unexpected support from Clint, Steuart put him in charge of directing the performance. Ivanka Trump was impressed with David's hands-on approach in the auditions, especially after being 'ripped apart' in the previous boardroom. She added that Steuart would need to step up during the presentation as it felt more like David's task.

At the theatre, Clint was impressed with David's work: "David was right on the money as far as I'm concerned." Steuart stumbled over his presentation and appeared very uncomfortable. Kristen Chenoweth enjoyed the simplicity of the presentation. Daryl agreed that the presentation gave all the necessary information. All three judges were unimpressed with Steuart's speech.

Team Fortitude

The team met with composer and lyricist Ryan Scott Oliver to discuss his new show Darling - a dark deconstruction of Peter Pan set in 1929 Boston. Liza confessed that she had never been to a Broadway show and seemed confused as to what goes on in one. Stephanie took the opportunity to criticize Liza for her lack of culture and depth. Stephanie later reveals that she studied with the Royal Conservatory for thirty years.

The girl's team disagreed over the promotional images, with Stephanie and Mahsa pushing for black-and-white despite Liza requesting color. Liza suspected that by ignoring her instructions the girls were hoping to get her fired. Mahsa later assisted Liza with her introductory speech: "I sat there and told her what the three sentences should be."

At the theatre Daryl felt that the presentation was good but John disagreed, saying it was hard to follow. Kristen liked the promotional materials, however Daryl pointed out that the team had not included any of the producer's details, meaning there was no way to follow up. John agreed: "Where do I send the check?"

The Boardroom

In the boardroom, Mr Trump asked Stephanie why she didn't contribute more given her musical background. Stephanie replied that it was Liza's decision to send her to the printer.

Mr Trump then followed up on last week's boardroom conflict by asking how David had performed. Steuart described his contribution as "a good job" while Clint described David's work on the task as "great". Steuart was questioned about his stumbled presentation but he called it "minor", saying that he "finished strong".

The focus turned to the promotional materials with Mr Trump preferring Octane's efforts. Anand did not see how Fortitude's materials related to the play. Stephanie and Mahsa blamed Liza for the bad materials as she had final approval while Liza countered that the two ladies should have spotted shortcomings.

The discussion returned to Stephanie's musical background. She claimed that she had thought it was a theatre task rather than a musical task. Mr Trump argued that he mentioned musicals throughout his presentation so she couldn't have been in any doubt.

Kristen Chenoweth picked Fortitude but Daryl Roth and John Yonover picked Octane, who were rewarded with a meeting with Larry Young, CEO of Snapple. Mr Trump also praised David's comeback as one of the best he had seen in the history of The Apprentice.

Fortitude identified the lack of contact information as the biggest failure on the task. In trying to pinpoint blame Mahsa came under fire for her self-centred approach and negativity towards others. Mr Trump was interested in Brandy losing her cool with Mahsa. Brandy revealed that Mahsa told the men's team the figures before they were officially announced in the boardroom. Mahsa responds that she only did that because Clint did the same. Ivanka accused Mahsa of altering the dynamic of the process.

Clint watched the proceedings outside and was enraged by Mahsa's comments. The men returned to the boardroom and Clint announced that he wanted to clear his name. He told Mr Trump that Mahsa told him the girl's figures, but that he had no way of knowing the men's figures so couldn't have passed them on. Don praised the fact that Clint returned to the boardroom to defend himself.

Mr Trump brought up Mahsa's disloyalty in addition to the accusations of lying and fired her immediately before ordering everyone out of the boardroom.
